Roxie Albrecht, M.D., director of OU Medical Center’s Level 1 Trauma Center, is the recent recipient of the Rhinehart Community Service Award. The award was presented by the Oklahoma County Medical Society in connection with its 2013 Inaugural Dinner held at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in January.

The Rhinehart award is given annually to an Oklahoma County Medical Society physician who has demonstrated significant involvement in projects to improve health care in the community and state. Albrecht is the first and only fully dedicated trauma medical director at the trauma center. She has been recognized for her distinctive expertise and dedication to the improvement of Oklahoma’s trauma system.

“The Don Rhinehart Award recognizes a physician who has made significant contributions to the community. Dr. Roxie Albrecht is a most deserving recipient of this award,” said Russell G. Postier, M.D., chair, Department of Surgery. “Honored for her dedication to the citizens of Oklahoma, Roxie’s tireless efforts have served to improve the care of trauma patients. Due in large part to these efforts, Oklahoma County and the state of Oklahoma have one of the best funded and best organized trauma systems in the entire country,” he continued. “Dr. Rhinehart would be proud to know Roxie has received the award that bears his name.”
